Hi
I buy my antihistamines from UK, get them sent to my mum then she pops them in a parcel when sending one over which is fairly regular

My dog has them for allergies so works out sooooo much cheaper and added bonus i use them for hayfever too.

Not sure i would buy from anywhere else other than Uk, Aus or USA to be honest.

Does anyone know if you can get eye drops called Restasis (cyclosporine) in Australia? I have heard they will soon be sold here but nothing as yet and I cant find anything online either.

Otherwise pick it at a pharmacy in the airport in Singapore or any other Asian stopover.

Cyclosporin eye drops are prescription only. Your ophthalmologist or rheumatologist should be able to tell you if they are available here.

I had heard they were POM but have also heard they are not in Australia as yet, I have more punctal plugs put in this week which the two I have in work really well, except when I got outside and then I am using bottles of drops in a couple of days.

I know these drops work well with plugs, Ill have a word with Dr Goh and see what he says.

These plugs are weird, when I roll my eyes I can feel them but they dont hurt which is good as they are damned expensive.

Goh? You go to the same medical practice as me. He is very sweet.Wonder if we've passed each other in the waiting room?

Ah....just realised there are a lot of Goh's, and more than likely quite a few are doctors.

I see him at the Murdoch - He is a lovely man, when he put my plugs in I thought it would hurt, I saw this pointy instrument coming towards my eyes but it didnt hurt a bit.

It was Goh (and my dentist) that diagnosed my sjogrens, straight away when he noticed I had no tear production and my mouth was as dry as a menopausal minge.

He told me to call the rheumatologist and he would copy him in on the letter, and the rheumy agreed with him, he had suspected it but my bloods were fluctuating.

I am seeing him this week, he is going to do a baseline eye test as I start plaquenil this week. Well I am meant to but I have heard you cant drink on them, so I shall wait till after my graduation for college on 25 November.
